– [Asn23] β-Amyloid (1-40), Iowa mutation, is a biologically active peptide linked to autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s Disease in multiple families. This involves the substitution of Asp 23 with Asn, causing severe cerebral amyloid beta-protein angiopathy (CAA). Individuals with this mutation exhibit a missense alteration in the APP gene at position 694, resulting in the mutated β-amyloid peptide aggregating more quickly and forming toxic fibrils.
